Group Case Studies


The class will be divided between into two groups:
Main v. Office Depot (fake photo ID case)
Liebeck v. McDonald's ("famous" hot coffee case)


  • Resources (articles and worksheets) are found on this page
  • You will be working with a group, in person (not online), to prepare your sides of the argument.
  • Then, after both sides have presented, we will return here for some classroom discussions.
